Randy** | *16 December 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to expertly support work from home initiatives. > > **Cons**: Due to its feature rich offerings, it does come with a high level of complexity which means there is a steep learning curve, but well worth the effort. > > 5 Star\! This is the best of breed in virtulatzation. ----- ### "Very good option for virtualization of desktop environment" — 4.0/5 > **Rafael** | *22 June 2021* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The features to display and virtualize a desktop enviironment is very important, the control features with management is very good and intitutive. > > **Cons**: The cost of the software depends of the features that you want and the cost is high if you want all the features, the implementation onsite could be very difficult especially for security and firewall policies. If you decide to have the solution on cloud, you can avoid these but you have to validate if you data can be store in public cloud. > > Very good experience in general, the software gives a robust experience ofr VDI solutions, only you need to invest time in development. ----- ### "Good virtual Desktop software" — 3.0/5 > **George** | *14 June 2021* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: the main benefit of using this software is, I don't need to connect to my client's network to provide my service. > > **Cons**: performance could be a concern in some circumstances, and nobody know how to diagnose, because it can be the client network, internet provider or the host servers, the possibility is just endless, so nobody take ownership of the problem. > > I am OK with the software, as it provide what I need to simulate having a physical pc connecting to the client network. ----- ### "very good platform for pure Virtual Desktop" — 5.0/5 > **Ilario** | *21 March 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Robust solution expecially with WMWare vSAN. > > **Cons**: High overall price after moved to Omnissa. > > Very good cloud platform expecially for virtual desktop, less for app. ----- ### "The tool to trust" — 5.0/5 > **Przemek** | *24 April 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The role of this tool is to connect with a virtual environment to operate and do the job by using it in many ways, and this is especially important to have this connection always available, and this is exactly what Horizon Client gives me. I have used this tool for around ten years, almost every day, and It always works\!\! > > **Cons**: It is hard to say something negative about this product. You can easily integrate it with other VMware software; the user interface is simple. Maybe more colors in the GUI? > > It allows me to connect with a virtual environment later used to support the IT service I provide. Thanks to the direct connection with VDI (administrative virtual machine) provided by Horizon Client, I have access to other required virtual resources. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/133019/vmware-horizon?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/133019/vmware-horizon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
